Katie Strang at ESPN.com reports that Darroll Powe has been placed on the IR with a concussion. There is no timetable for his return.

…huge blow for the Rangers. Powe's acquisition not only improved the Rangers penalty kill, it also allowed Torts the comfort of playing four lines as he gelled real nicely with Asham and Halpern. Still have no idea how Sather got him for Rupp.

Meanwhile, at practice Andrew Gross at the Bergen Record says that Chris Kreider is still with the team and was alternating line rushes with the recently recalled Brandon Mashinter.
